"The launch date was only decided back in November and we have been flat out with the re-design since then," said Marketing Director Frank Skivington.
He explained the drive behind the new look and feel for the site; "We are very focused on design at Skyscanner, but probably with more emphasis on making the product as good as it can be - giving travellers a comprehensive one stop search site for flights, hotels and car hire and bringing clever new features and brilliant functionality to our users as fast as possible.
"The constant evolution and expansion of the site also means we are dealing with a moving target when it comes to design. And of course we also have the challenge of localising the brand for our many international sites, from Russian to Korean, so it has been an interesting project, to say the least!".
The new design has been developed with the aim of concentrating on the Skyscanner ethos of delivering a brilliant core offering, while keeping the interface simple, beautiful, fast and functional. One of the objectives for the project was to reflect best practices in design for usability as well as look good, so customer testing and feedback sessions were built in to the redesign process.
Skyscanner fans will be pleased to find all of Skyscanner's very clever search tools are still on the site. Customers can still see at a glance which days are cheapest to travel across a whole month, and search for 'everywhere' to see which destinations have the best flight deals on offer.
"We've tried to make all these very popular elements easier to find and use, as well as paving the way for some very exciting new features and search options that will be launched later in the year," said Skivington.
Skyscanner, as a very important and leading on-line travel search site, has a great number of customers. Its newly launched platforms with 29 languages offers more opportunities for customer of different languages. Besides more languages, the website is also re-designed with better products and more convenient interface. This new platform of Skyscanner is more customer friendly. In our opinion, this movement will definitely attract more m-tourists to use it for searching and booking flights, hotels, cars, ect. As mentioned in the news, Skyscanner is looking forward to expanding its market and localizing its brand for many international sites, we believe that adding more languages would be their first step to achieving its goal.
